NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 14, 1907.

Application filed October 24, 1906. Serial No- 340,296.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADOLPH PAROUTAUD, a citizen of the United of the city of New York, (borough of Brooklyn,) county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved N on-R-efillable Bottle, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention is an improvement in nonrefillable bottles, relating more especially to bottles of this character in which a specially constructed stopper for preventing the refilling of the bottle, is fastened into, and made a permanent part of the bottles neck.

Among the objects of the invention is to provide a stopper effective for the purpose intended, that is practical to manufacture, especially of such materials as glass, porce- Jain and the like, and to prevent the refilling of the bottle as when inverted, by pressure or infiltration.

The stopper'which in practice is of short length, can be applied to shortnecked bottles as it is ordinarily placed therein flush with the extremity of the neck and secured in this relation in a novel manner hereinafter pointed out.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this-specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a vertical, central section through the neck of a bottle with. my improvements applied thereto Fig. 2 is a plan of the same, and Fig. 3 is a side elevation of my improved stopper removed 7 from the neck of the bottle.

The invention comprises a stopper 1 preferably made of glass, porcelain or like material and of cylindrical form of such size as to closely fit the neck of the bottle to which it is applied. The upper end of the stopper is provided with a cylindrical cavity for receiving an ordinary form of cork 2. In the bottom of the cavity in which the cork 2 is placed, an inclined straight passage 3 leads to one side of the cork. This passage communicates with a reversely-inclined conical passage 4 passing to the bottom of the stopper through two small grooves 5, as shown in Fig. 3, the grooves being arranged at each side of a common central plane of the passages 3 and 4. A ball-valve 6 is placed in the conical passage 4 and automatically seats itself by gravity whenthe bottle is in an upright position. This ball is made of hollow States, and a resident glass, ebonite or any material having a less specific gravity than water. struction it is impossible to pass liquid into I the bottle as when inverted, by either pressure or infiltration, it being, of course, understood that should the bottle be manufactured for a liquid of less specific gravity than water, the weight of the ball with respect to its volume would be accordingly diminished.

A wedge-shaped recess 7 is cut in one side of the stopper 1 at its upper end, which is designed to register with a correspondin recess out in the extremity of the neck 0 the bottle when the stopper is placed in position therein, which position brin s the stopper flush with the upper end 0? the neck, as shown in Fig. 1. The recesses in both the stopper and bottle. may be thereafter filled with molten glass, forming a Wedge-shaped plug 8 therebetween and reventing the removal of the stopper witliout breaking the neck of the bottle.

In the construction of the stopper, the passages 3 and 4 can be readily made in the materials specified inasmuch as they are stopper, the grooves 5-5 being readily formed with the grinding-wheel after the stopper has been the neck of the bottle. After the sto per is in place it will be impossible to reach t e ball 6 from the outside of the bottle by reason of the inclination of the passages 3 and 4. Further, since the stopper is flush with the extremity of the bottles neck, it can be easily introduced, fitted and adjusted.

The precise embodiment of the invention is not material provided its essential characteristics are employed as pointed out in the annexed claims.

Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A stopper for non-refillable bottles having straight inclined passages therein communicating at one side of the stopper, and a valve in one of said passages for normally closing the same.

2. A stopper for non-refillable bottles having straight reversely inclined passages there'- in communicating at one side of the stopper, one of said passages being conical, and a ballvalve in said conical passage for normally closing the same. b

3. A stopper for non-refillable bottles having a cavity in its upper end for receiving a pressed and ground to fit By this constraight and pass through one side of the' J cork, said stopper being provided with an in cllned passage leading from the bottom of inclined passages connnnni :ating with ear-l1 other at one side of the stopper forming coinsaid cavity to one side of the stopper and inunication between the bottom of the eavitv With a reversely-inclined conical passage p ass- 5 ing through the bottom of the stopper and communicating with the iirst passage, and a ball-valve in the conical passage for norinially closing the same.

4. A non-refillable bottle comprising a 10 stopper secured in the neck of the bottle and having a cavity in its upper end for receiving a cork, said stopper having two reverselyand the bottle, and a valve in one of said passages for normally closing the same. I

In testimony whereof I have signed |n\ name tothis specification in the presenee of two subscribing witnesses.
